Our Primary Goal

Protection of native forests in Paraguay

The Problem

In recent decades millions of hectares of forest were cleared in Paraguay and once fertile land turned partly into barren wasteland. The habitat of countless animals and plants was destroyed. A massive deforestation at this scale also changes the climate. There are droughts or floods, which are attributed to deforestation. It is therefore the goal of our reforestation to prevent further deforestation of native forests.

Time to Act

We saw the need for action early on and developed suitable business models to implement in Paraguay and built the necessary infrastructure over the past 10 years. Now we offer both private and institutional investors the opportunity to contribute to the protection of native forests while generating attractive returns. This way we lay the foundation for future generations together: With your investment in our projects you commit to a sustainable environment worth living in for our children and grandchildren.

This is our mission

Our type of reforestation has two goals. On the one hand, we obviously want to generate a decent return for our investors. On the other hand - and this is the higher goal - we want to protect the Paraguayan jungle from further destruction, restore it to nature and enable it to spread again over time. And this is how we implement it:

How we Protect Native Forest

We pursue two goals with our type of reforestation. On the one hand, we want to generate a decent return for our investors. On the other hand - and this is the primary goal - we want to protect the Paraguayan jungle from further destruction, renaturate it and bring it back to its natural size over time. Here's how we put it into practice:
  • 1

    Monoculture as savior of the native forests in Paraguay

    Our industrial reforestation prevents further deforestation of native forest. Soil that has not been used can now provide urgently needed wood through our reforestation. The wood demand would otherwise be taken from remaining native forest.

    Preparing the soil to be reforested

    Only through our eucalyptus cultivation is the soil enriched with nutrients again. This enables the native forest to re-polpulate again. Our long-term goal is to give the native forest room to spread again over time.

  • 3

    Active protection and care of the acquired native forest

    Remaining native forest, which we acquire with the areas are not cleared but protected. At present, in addition to our eucalyptus areas, we also manage more than 200 hectares of native forest, which we actively protect.

    Reintroduction of plundered tropical woods (Nativas)

    Precious woods that are important for the ecosystem, but have been cleared for the most part, are being added back to the native forest stand. Among others, the following precious wood species are reforested: Cedro, West Indian cedar, Lapacho, Yvyra Pyta, Paraguayan rosewood, Guatambú and Peterevy.
